Get ready for your pinches of salt everyone but according to reports the latest showrunner and lead of Doctor Who are to quit the show in solidarity together after the BBC have once again attempted to interfere with the running of the hit show, recently “rebooted” under the new showrunner. The source of this split is…

This
week we got a good old fashioned space episode, with the crew finding
themselves on a medical transport that suddenly finds itself under threat from
unknown entities, the stuff classic sci-fi is made of.

So after a notable absence from our screens Doctor Who is back with a complete refresh that not even Moffat had back in 2010 and this Premiere shows its already a very different beast to the NuWho that came before.

Battlefield
V was a game I really wanted to root for, a game that would
finally get a franchise once beloved back on track after years of identity
crisis over what sort of game it was trying to be. Instead what I found was a
game that applied fixes to imagined problems without once asking what the
actual problems were.

Battlefield V launched to a very big PR mess the other day I think it’s fair to say, with the most vocal criticism being the usual screech of sad little White Guys upset that the “political agenda” (read: making a game fun for everyone and not just them) has been forced down their throats in a game where you can run…

Fallout 4 was a deeply
polarising game in the Fallout franchise
and a situation where I admittedly fall into the disappointed camp. That’s not
to say the game was out and out terrible, far from it, as it actually improved
regarding many elements of its transition to First Person back in ’08. Among
these elements were…

In yet another demonstration of just why the BBC is struggling to attract viewers who aren’t interested in property or dance programmes the corporation, no doubt as a result of some internal dick measuring contest, has decided to scrap the immensely popular Robot Wars reboot after 3 series to make way for “new shows”.

For what’s meant to be the first look at the next Star Wars film I have to say if you hadn’t told me what this was I’d have thought it was a surprise Blade Runner spin-off given how more “out there” it looks compared to the more typical feel of a Wars film. Obviously that could be incredibly exciting and amazing but…

So it’s io9s 10th Anniversary and I’ve just realised there’s no comprehensive list of where all the old guard have gone. Thinking it might be nice to have a post where we could collate what said writers are doing now. I know a few went back to Uni and others like CJA and Newitz went onto bigger and brighter things,…

The
most recent batch of Black Mirror,
Charlie Brooker’s largely dystopian anthology series of tech gone wrong, has
finally been released onto Netflix and this group of six episodes is just as
varied as the previous batch. The trouble is the Netflix model may already be
showing some cracks.

Twice Upon A Time is the final “swansong” of Moffat’s most would agree too long tenure as the head of the BBC’s flagship science-fiction show and is very much the product of the last seven inconsistent years of the show. The nearly hour long affair is a piece that ranges from heartfelt character moments to schlocky…
